This is an attractive aircraft with a lot of room. It also says it can be used as a tow plane ?!?!



Does anyone have any experience with it as a tow plane?


We used to have a Lambada that is like an earlier version of the Phoenix, I believe. It was only adequate for towing ultralights and very light gliders such as our PW-5. Visibility towards the rear was very limited.
